Former Congress member Beto O’Rourke knows Texas like no other. That’s because he’s visited every single one of its 254 counties – listening, debating, and campaigning for the U.S. Senate.
In this interview he shares what the geography and landscape of Texas means to him, what its needs are, and how he would like us to protect it.
